Chapter 69 Announcement
"Yi Rui, come back!" Although Dongfang Xiaoyang was young, his voice was not small. He looked at Long Xiaoqi gloomically, as if he was warning him of something.
Dongfang Yirui shrugged her shoulders, raised her glass, drank it, smiled and returned to her original seat. But her eyes did not leave Long Xiaoqi. The boy in front of her was like a magnet with great magnetism, attracting not only her eyes, but even her heart.
"Drink! Brother Xiaoqi, I really don't see that you still have the ability to teach your brother, okay?" Murong Pengtao's face was full of worship, and he couldn't wait to kneel on the ground and learn from his teacher.
"Ha ha, some things are born, and you can't change them even if you want to, and you can't learn them even if you want to." After saying that, Long Xiaoqi took a sip of the juice left in the cup, took a look at Dongfang Yirui not far away, and turned around and left.
"Sure enough, I like it." Murong Pengtao felt weak. I secretly made up my mind that from today on, I must change my appearance, become a new person, and be a cynical master like Long Xiaoqi.
"Don't think about it. I'm willing to bet and lose. Give me the money first. Hello! Do you hear me? Ximen Shengrui deserves to be a descendant of the Ximen family, looking for "business opportunities" everywhere.
"Do you know who that is?" Dongfang Xiaoyang pointed to Long Xiaoqi who was leaving and asked word by word.
"I know! Long Xiaoqi! It is said to be a century-old genius of the Long family. What's wrong? Dongfang Yirui is very clear about the relationship between the two families, but with Dongfang Jie covering her, no one can control her.
"A once-in-a-century genius? I think you are crazy about genius! He..." Speaking of this, Dongfang Xiaoyang seemed to remember something. He sat next to Dongfang Yirui and whispered, "He is just a waste of the Long family. You still want to compete with him. Don't you estimate your identity like this?"
"What's wrong with my identity? I am the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Oriental family, and he is the grandson of the dragon family. Is he a good match?" I already understood what Dongfang Xiaoyang was going to say, but he pretended to be stupid there and deliberately wanted to anger this uncle.
"A good match? Pooh! Why does his Long family sit on an equal footing with our Oriental family? Long Xiaoqi is nothing. Take a good look at this martial arts competition and wait for your uncle to beat him as an idiot!" With that, Dongfang Xiaoyang stood his head proudly and completely forgot that this was in the clan of the Long family and on the territory of the Long family.
"Is that right? Are you sure? Then I really want to see who beat him up. After saying that, Dongfang Yirui snorted heavily and turned her head. Looking at this niece of about the same age, Dongfang Xiaoyang also felt helpless. Although he was his uncle, he was about the same age. I don't know why he didn't want to see his niece talk to other boys, not to mention the grandson of the Long family.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the people of the eight major families have also left one after another. Tomorrow there will be a martial arts competition, and tomorrow's program is the most important.
Turning around, the sky is clear and the sun is shining. Although it is a little hot, it doesn't matter to these people who have been used to it for a long time.
The patriarchs of the eight families, lined up, sat on the chairs above the ring in order. Long Jingdao is in the middle, while Dongfang Jie sits on his right, and to the right are Ximen Tian, Zhao Zirong and Murong Feng. There are a sea of people under the stage, not only the contestants of this competition, but also the elders and entourage of various families, as well as the guards of the Long family and the people who came to watch the fun.
"Everyone, be quiet." Long Jingdao cleared his throat and said in a very low voice.
"The competition of the eight families will officially begin from today." As they spoke, deafening applause came one after another, and the members of the Long family could not even control their emotions. They applauded and shouted one after another. Long Jingdao took a look at the Dragon family and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
"This competition is based on the principles of justice, fairness and openness..." According to past practice, Long Jingdao talked about the spirit of the competition for at least 20 minutes, and then entered a formal topic.
"The competition of the eight major families is divided into middle-aged groups and juvenile groups. I will announce the specific distribution in a moment. Let me first talk about the referees. The main referees of this competition are jointly held by our eight patriarchs, and each family can appoint two people as referees for this competition. The referees mainly play the role of supervision and sentencing, and the eight of us will consider the opinions given by the referees. As for the rules of martial arts competition, as in previous years, the points system is implemented. In the round robin, three points for each win, one point for each draw, and lose one game? Zero points. Each group takes the top two, and there are two groups in total. The first place in the first group will compete with the second place in the second group for the right to enter the final. Similarly, the first place in the second group will compete with the second place in the first group for the right to enter the final. Finally, take the winners of each group to the finals. Speaking of this, Long Jingdao seemed to be thirsty. He took a sip of tea and continued to read.
"Next, I will read out the participants and the distribution of the games." With that, Long Jingdao turned a page and continued reading.
The first group, the Long family, the Sima family, the Oriental family and the Zhao family. The second group, the Nangong family, the Ximen family, the Beitang family and the Murong family. Before the end of reading, almost everyone on the field took a deep breath. The eight-family competition can be said to be the confrontation between the Long family and the Oriental family, and there are almost no other families in the final championship battle. However, this time, the war between the two families broke out in advance. I don't know what the two patriarchs will look like when they know this result.
"On the first day, in the first group, the Long family played against the Sima family, and the Oriental family played against the Zhao family. In the second group, the Nangong family played against the Ximen family, and the Beitang family against the Murong family; the next day, in the first group, the Long family played against the Oriental family, and the Sima family against the Zhao family. In the second group, the Nangong family vs. the Beitang family, and the Ximen family vs. Murong family. On the third day, the first group..." Long Jingdao read the whole array map in one breath. Looking at this array map, Long Jingdao had an indescribable feeling in his heart. The Long family and the Oriental family can be said to be the biggest attraction in this competition, two consecutive times in a row. I'm afraid it's really hard to estimate who will kill the deer. However, this satisfies the eyes of several other families. The Long family and the Oriental family have always been the focus of everyone's attention. Maybe after this competition, some families will start to act!
"The fourth day is a break. Presumably everyone will feel very tired after three days of hard work. Therefore, give everyone a day off and adjustment time. From five days, they will enter the single-game knockout stage, start the semi-finals, and finally the finals." Speaking of this, Long Jingdao took a deep breath, and the scene of the draw last night still remains in his mind. Surprise, disappointment, joy, everyone has a different expression on their faces.
"The martial arts competition time is divided into morning and afternoon. The morning is the martial arts competition time of the youth group, and the afternoon is the martial arts competition time of the middle-aged group. In the round robin, each game is 40 minutes. After the competition, take a ten-minute break, starting at 8 o'clock in the morning, starting at 1:30 in the afternoon, and so on. In the knockout match, there is one hour in each game and an hour break in the middle. It also starts at 8 o'clock in the morning and 1:30 in the afternoon. As for the finals! From 8 o'clock in the morning, there is no time limit until the two really distinguish the winner, and the afternoon starts at two o'clock. Everything has been announced. Long Jingdao took a look at the people under the stage, turned his head to look around the patriarchs, nodded, and handed over the microphone in his hand.
Each patriarch has expressed his own views, and repeatedly emphasized the spirit of competition first and second in martial arts competition.
The sun has risen to the sky, roasting the earth hot. Long Jingdao looked at the time, looked at the other patriarchs, and announced the meeting.
The competition of the eight families is imminent, but I don't know who will lead the ups and downs tomorrow?
